Acleda Bank Joins CSX

Cambodia bourse sees first bank listing

Cambodia's largest commercial bank listed on the country's stock market Monday, the first lender to trade on the fledgling exchange, despite uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Acleda Bank became the sixth firm to join the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX), which opened in 2011, joining a garment factory, two state-owned ports, and a special economic zone.

But initial fanfare for the kingdom's trading future has dimmed, with the country's lack of financial literacy and a dearth of eligible companies being major obstacles.

Acleda has been operating since 1993 and boasts assets of US$7.5 billion.

Its chairman and managing director In Channy said about 2,500 public investors became its shareholders Monday, opening a "new chapter" for Cambodia's financial sector.

He downplayed the risks of debuting on the CSX during the pandemic.

"We saw that our investors did not hesitate because of the trust in Cambodia, in Acleda Bank and in relevant authorities," In Channy said.

"If we were concerned, we would not have listed today."

Trading started at 16,200 riel (US$3.93) per share and closed at 16,500 riel.

Cambodian commercial bank Acleda made its debut on the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) on Monday after an initial public offering (IPO) raised US$17.5 million.

The locally-owned bank becomes the sixth equity-listed firm and is the first commercial bank that issued its IPO on the kingdom’s bourse.

The bank floated about 4.34 million shares, or one percent of its total shares, in which a share cost 16,200 riels (US$4.05), according to the bank’s data filed to the CSX.
